About DanielDaniel, best known as Dantorp Aviation on YouTube, has become well known for his aviation video content, which ranges from executive interviews to reviews. In 2016 he averaged one flight every five days covering 100,000 miles on 41 airlines.

This one has been a long time coming! Lately, it feels like I've booked half the people I know on Qatar's Stockholm to Doha flight, and I've been starting to question my decision. Sure, I know Qatar business class is one of the best in the sky, but what…

American Express is really going in with airline offers lately on their Amex Offers platform. Amex Offers is American Express' platform for offering cardmembers targeted deals for purchases with select retailers. We've seen offers for 20,000 Membership…

Bank of America is the only bank I'm aware of where you can apply for one product and receive another. Their Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Credit Card is one of the best airline branded cards in the market. With a 30,000 mile sign-up bonus, $0 companion…

Eurobonus is the loyalty program of Scandinavian Airlines, the flag carrier of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The program advertises having over five million members and is the primary loyalty program of literally every Swede I know. I also credit flights…

We all know credit card sign-up bonuses are the easiest way to rack up points fast. You can go from 0 to 150,000 points in a month with some credit card issuers, which is fantastic. Unfortunately, this only really works in the US. In other countries,…

Earlier this year I spent three and a half weeks in South Africa. Initially, I’d planned on spending the entire time getting to know Cape Town and its surrounding areas. However, my plans quickly changed when I discovered a program from Volunteer Southern…

It's official. We're living in a time where airlines you've never heard of are giving the airlines we're all loyal to a run for their money. Well, if you ask the US3, their Middle Eastern non-competitors are the problem and not the increasing number…

Norwegian is back at it again, but not with a new route this time. While the general trend in the industry is going toward decreasing loyalty program returns, Norwegian is going against the grain. They're one of the only low-cost carriers to offer a…

I hopped off a decrepit Air India A320 at Thiruvananthapuram Airport in the south of India. This was quite the contrast to my flight in Lufthansa First to Bangalore. Within a few minutes, I was airside, where the Soul & Surf driver greeted me. The one…

American Express Membership Rewards has many great transfer partners, including Air Canada Aeroplan, Singapore KrisFlyer, Delta SkyMiles, and Air France/KLM FlyingBlue. All these partners offer 100:100 transfers, meaning 1,000 points will get you 1,000…

In the past few years, we've seen low-cost carriers expanding across the Atlantic at record speeds. At the start of this decade a one-way ticket from Europe to the US for $69 would seem impossible, but Norwegian proved us wrong earlier this year. Because…

I’d like to preface this post by saying that this will only be useful if you don’t have your own car. Being under 21, I simply can’t rent a car unless I go to an extremely sketchy agent, which I’d rather avoid. ;) However, I won’t let this stop me from…

Amex Offers is one of the best unique perks of having American Express cards. Both their credit and charge cards are eligible for these offers, which are targeted by different retailers. The "offers" can come in the form of cash back or Membership Rewards…

A few weeks ago I wrote about how it seems Norwegian is announcing new long-haul routes every few weeks. That was no exaggeration. Singapore, Buenos Aires, Seattle, and Denver will all be launching from Norwegian's London Gatwick base in the coming year.…

Everyone can remember the excitement leading up to their first flight in business or first class. For me, that was flying a reconfigured Continental Airlines 767-400 many years back. The concept of having a seat that turns fully flat is mindblowing.…

I'm excited to share this review of Juneyao Airlines since they recently joined Star Alliance as a connecting partner. I bought my flight for roughly $100, which was by far the cheapest in the market. The fare included 20kg of luggage, which seems to…

As far as longhaul expansion goes, I can't think of an airline that's announcing more new routes than Norwegian. Every few weeks we hear of new destinations, and this latest one is the most exciting yet. They currently serve nine U.S. cities from London…

In April this year, I attended the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg where I had a look at Recaro’s selection of seats, which included their new CL6710. This is the latest generation lie-flat from the manufacturer best known for its slim-line economy…

Last week I wrote about how Lufthansa is moving five A380s from their mega-hub in Frankfurt to their secondary hub in Munich. This is a big step for the airline. Five A380s is a small fleet and a considerable investment in Munich Airport. The A380 will…

Last week I took my second ever flight on Swedish-based BRA. I know, the name is ridiculous. Bra means "good" in Swedish, so get your minds out of the gutter. Last week I was in Stockholm several times surrounding my TV-debut and decided to take the…

Finnair was the third airline in the world to receive an A350. Back when they received their first one in October 2015, it operated intra-European routes for a few months. Eventually, it started flying to many premium destinations such as Seoul, Beijing,…
